This Item Is Fated with Me!

This Item Is Fated with Me!

Beams of clear light descended around them, each transforming into a Daoist form.

The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa and Fuxi, Di Jun and Taiyi, Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi.

Each possessed an extraordinary Origin and a distinguished status. Having just parted ways at Zixiao Palace, they exchanged greetings before turning their gazes toward Shen Fei.

They knew all three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace. This person was not one of them, so he was naturally a rank beneath them.

Not every Great Luo could enter Zixiao Palace. Failing to enter meant one's Origin was lacking and one's opportunities were insufficient.

"Guiyuan greets you all, Fellow Daoists."

"Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun greet you, Fellow Daoist," Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun said with smiles.

Nuwa and Fuxi also nodded lightly. "Nuwa and Fuxi greet you, Fellow Daoist."

Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi ignored Shen Fei, while Yuqing merely glanced at him.

"Shangqing greets you, Fellow Daoist."

"Taiqing greets you, Fellow Daoist."

Shen Fei smiled faintly. "It seems you are all here for these gourds as well."

"Of course!"

The others were somewhat envious. These could become Innate Spiritual Treasures. Even with their extraordinary Origins, Innate Spiritual Treasures remained exceedingly precious, since they could also be used to comprehend laws.

Di Jun and Taiyi still said nothing, but like the others, they stared eagerly at the gourds.

Even though they possessed companion Spiritual Treasures, who would ever complain about having too many treasures?

Moreover, they harbored ambitions of their own.

Naturally, they needed more treasures to win others over.

After exchanging names, everyone looked toward the Gourd Vine. There were ten of them here, yet only seven gourds. Needless to say, some would be left without one.

Before long, the Gourd Vine, which had been madly devouring the surrounding Innate Spiritual Qi, came to a stop.

At that moment.

The purple-green gourds detached themselves from the Gourd Vine. A faint Dao Sound came from the void. "Leave one behind to preserve the Spiritual Root. You may take the rest."

"Teacher's mercy!"

"Dao Ancestor's Mercy!"

The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa and Fuxi, Di Jun and Taiyi, Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi were all startled. How could they fail to recognize that voice? It belonged to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

They all bowed in salute.

Only Shen Fei remained still, quietly watching. The others bowed to Hongjun partly out of gratitude for hearing his teachings, but Shen Fei had not even gone to Zixiao Palace. Why should he bow?

Seeing that Shen Fei did not move at all, Zhenyuanzi kindly reminded him, "Fellow Daoist Guiyuan, this is the Dao Ancestor. You should offer your respects."

He thought Shen Fei did not recognize Hongjun and, having never gone to Zixiao Palace, did not understand etiquette and might offend the Dao Ancestor.

"I know."

Now that he was on Buzhou Mountain and bore Pangu's imprint upon his body, Hongjun would not dare make a move against him.

"It is fine."

Hongjun's indifferent voice resounded through the void, and the gourds vanished from before everyone.

Everyone's brows twitched slightly. This man was far too arrogant!

He actually refused to pay respects to the Dao Ancestor.

Once the gourds disappeared, everyone maintained their formal posture for a while before turning their attention back to them. Taiqing smiled and said, "I shall take the first gourd."

Taiqing lightly waved his hand, and the first gourd, gleaming with purple-gold light, fell into his hand. No one stopped him. As the eldest of the Three Pure Ones, he had also occupied the first seat in Zixiao Palace.

With such an Origin and opportunity.

Beside him, Hongyun sent a voice transmission to Zhenyuanzi. "Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, I feel the second gourd is fated with me, but only six gourds remain. If I take one... would that be inappropriate?"

Hearing this, Zhenyuanzi irritably pushed Hongyun forward. Giving up the seat had been one thing.

Was he going to yield an Innate Spiritual Treasure too?

With a smile, he said to everyone, "The second gourd is fated with my friend Hongyun."

As he spoke, an Earth Book Phantom Shadow appeared behind him.

"Very well."

Yuqing and the others nodded. With Zhenyuanzi protecting him, Hongyun could obtain this opportunity.

Hongyun went beneath the Gourd Vine and plucked the second, purple-red gourd.

When it came to the third one.

Two people spoke at the same time.

"This item is fated with me."

After speaking, the two looked at each other. Taiyi said coldly, "Where did you find the nerve to covet this treasure?"

The other person who had spoken was Shen Fei.

Shen Fei knew that the remaining six gourds could not possibly be fated with him, but since he was already here, he had to take one away.

Among them, the Three Pure Ones were one whole, while Nuwa would become a saint in the future.

That left either Hongyun or Di Jun.

Compared to the gourd containing red sand, he preferred the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife.

As for strength?

Zhenyuanzi had the Earth Book, while Di Jun and Taiyi had the River Diagram and Luo Book, as well as the Chaos Bell.

But this was the Primordial Continent. Zhenyuanzi, who possessed the Earth Book, would certainly be extremely difficult to deal with.

Di Jun and Taiyi seemed stronger, but how would he know without fighting them?

Besides, an Innate Supreme Treasure was not so easily refined!

So for now, this purple-white gourd seemed more fated with him.

"Since we both have an affinity with it, why not settle this according to the rules? How about we have a match?"

Shen Fei looked at Taiyi with a smile. In an instant, the particles of five Primordial Giant Turtles within his body began to stir. A Boundless Giant Turtle standing amid the ocean appeared before everyone's eyes.

Azure waves surged in layer after layer, its four legs like pillars supporting Heaven, its Turtle Shell like an entire continent.

A roar that reached through Heaven and Earth.

An incomparably terrifying pressure instantly swept through the surroundings. Not only Di Jun and Taiyi, but even the Three Pure Ones and the others changed expression slightly.

Seeing this terrifying phenomenon, Taiqing could not help but calculate with his fingers.

"So it was him!"

Taiqing muttered to himself. Yuqing and Shangqing looked toward their eldest brother.

"The first Turtle born of Heaven and Earth in the North Sea, it has lived from the time of Heaven Opening until now. We encountered it during our travels, but at the time, it was still muddleheaded and lacked spiritual intelligence.

Yet it has actually taken form now?"

Even Taiqing frowned lightly. There was something he did not say: according to this Turtle's destined fate, it should have been impossible for it to take form.

Taiyi, who had previously looked down on him, now wore a serious expression. "You are the North Sea Giant Turtle Kunpeng spoke of? Perfect. He said that if we killed you, he would join us.

For the great cause of our Demon Clan, we can only sacrifice you."

"That mangy bird Kunpeng truly does not know whether it lives or dies."

Upon hearing Taiyi's words, divine light burst from Shen Fei's eyes, and a vast ocean-like pressure instantly intensified. "I almost forgot. You are mangy birds too. No wonder you flock together!"

"Impudent!"

"If you want to fight, then fight. If not, get lost! I would like to see what the legendary Chaos Bell is capable of!"

"To kill you, there is no need to use the Eastern Emperor Bell! To avoid damaging the Innate Spiritual Root, let us fight in the sky!"

The next moment.

Hearing Shen Fei insult both him and Di Jun as mangy birds, the rage in Taiyi's chest instantly erupted. A black Three-legged Crow glittering with golden light appeared.

Golden Crow Manifestation.

Boundless Golden Crow Divine Fire transformed into a massive Golden Crow and crashed toward Shen Fei. The temperature around them rose sharply as immeasurable firelight erupted, seeming ready to burn through the firmament and pierce the void.

The Golden Crow Divine Fire, capable of incinerating all things, was the innate divine ability of the Golden Crow Clan.

It was formed from Solar True Fire fused with the Golden Crow's own Dao Rhyme.

It was incomparably tyrannical. Even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal who touched it would be burned raw unless they possessed a method to remove it!

Seeing this, Hongyun was about to lend a hand when Zhenyuanzi stopped him.

"That Fellow Daoist Guiyuan has an extraordinary Origin. Let us watch a while longer."
